I see the amnesiac rosters, which seem to be the most downloaded for NHL. What I'm not understanding is how the other elements are set up. Is it just that there are several different downloads for different things like faces, uniforms, audio, etc and you get them one by one? Or is there one "mod" or "patch" that has everything compiled? I know there are a lot of European hockey fans here which is really cool, but is there someone who knows well what there is for NHL and the best bits to go after?Just trying to find my way around. Thanks!

the arenas is one of downloads that works on bouth rosters, because arenas have all details in th big.file. But the arenas with international ice-format use boards with the glas and board-update (it´s inthe filebase too).

the ice-files for the teams of NHL and AHL will work with both rosters too, because the team-ID´s are the sameone. Only cf, goalies and pictures are different, the amnasiac roster as other player ID´s then the wasserlasser-roster. In roster face id are ID´s of wasserlasser-roster so you can complain with amnesias ID´s. I have redone the super goalie pack for wasserlasser-roster.

I think that is no problem if you use the EA´s replacement teams in season modus( that means when your´re creating a season you can replace NHL-teams with Custom-teams). So you will have only 30 teams. I tested only a short moment with an edited season modus and it works. Maybe Dynasty Mode will not work, but i don´t know.

exactly i only want to replace one team with a custom team. 30 teams. I don't play Dynasty, only season mode.So I can just apply all arenas and ice and then rename them to match the teams I substitute, right? Same with other team specific visuals like iniforms and torfs? Which files are just replaceable images and which are compressed into the game as a different format?

If I understand correctly, as long as the pictures and cybers that I get are FOR the rosters I use, I'm fine to install them, right?

you´re right. You have only to rename the files. CF have the easy way too, for example FACE2000.fsh and FACE2000.ebo must both renamed to FACE1000.fsh and FACE1000.ebo. If you use the toolbox it´s easy, because all things will be imported automatically. You only have to compare the different ID`s between the rosters.

Team specific visuals like jerseys and torfs you need a hex-editor too, mabe look at this example, how to name the files: jersey files

Oh Toolbox is very easy. You put all your components in the root folder like C.Programs/EASports/NHL09, then start toolbox and click on the button "Install AddOns", that´s all to do. toolbx install all componets autmatically, you can control, what toolbox installs at the boxes. if installs jersey, there is a green hook and on the other boxes there is a red x. Only Addons with green hooks is installed. Just test it, toolbox works very fine and effectiv.

Ok, cool. I just want to get all the components to update to a current NHL in there. Then I want to learn how to move things around to end up with a 30-team NHL that has Vegas in place of Arizona to play individual seasons with. Nothing more. Shouldn't be too complicated, right?

Ok, i´m updating Wasserlasser-roster with NHL and AHL I think on Sunday it will be ready and in filebase.

I ask because i´m editing wasserlasser-roster and with the team here, we´re updating the german speaking leagues in europe. NHl and AHL will be updated this season for the frist time. Also i update the international teams after world championship.

wasserlasser roster works with the most files from here and we also update nearly everthing on our leagues every year. I decide this season to have all teams up-to-date (we have NHL, AHL. DEL, DEL2, NLA, EBEL, AlpsHL and some teams fromt German 3rd league cold Oberliga.
